10's of millions of dollars are spent easily on making those games.

Trevor, if I were you I'd start with a simple overhead view 2d racing game just to learn the basics. I just tried to find a good tutorial for you and couldn't come up with anything good. Everything tries to start out with ridiculous stuff that a novice won't even care about. It was easier when I was a kid starting out with BASIC. Almost makes me want to write a game programming tutorial myself.

Thank you JLV.. i will try that!

JLV are there any engine's you recommend for making a 2d game.... i was thinking start off with a little 2d game like terraria and work my way to motocross.

My guess, ODE, for anything physics related...

Wow that is amazing... I will try cry it looks alright for a crash sim. but i am doing a little 2d minecrafty thing so it will have you build blocks and im going to throw in some wepons to be like metal slug. Thanks barrington

ODE wouldn't be good for beginners. For a beginner, the physics code is likely to be something like "x = x + xvelocity * timestep". No libraries needed for that.

You'd think someone would have made a game programming tutorial using Javascript and a canvas element. You'd see results immediately without even leaving your web browser.

i know the concepts and basics of ODE.... i have python and found a tutorial on ODE using Python. but i was thinking about using like java ore something easy...... I know enough to were I am not really a beginner but not a novice i am in the middle.... JLV you would be a pro i think..... you must just kick back and say damn i made this game.... then you see the ban court lol

[jlv]

If you like python try this tutorial:

Thanks JLV!! that really helped me understand Python better... im now learning Pygames..... This is the best part about our community even the Creator helps you with stuff!!! makes me not want the game to ever stop!

i imagine this engine could get deformation working quite badass

in this one they talk about real time clothing... how badass would it be to have our jerseys and pants moving in the wind.

Euclideon haven't worked out animations yet

[barrington314]

they are from your home land right? get over there and show them how to get shit done!
